Cigarette burn in seat upholstery

My Solstice was vandalized (recorded on video) where the (street) person placed a burning cigarette on my driver's seat. My insurance deductible of $300 covers it, but the most popular upholstery shop in Vancouver couldn't find a matching fabric and abandoned helping me. Then I contacted VLC Upholstery Repair who do a mobile service. They did an innovative repair by pinching the hole and folding the seam inward, then stitching it along the fabric panel to create a matching seam to the existing cloth pattern. They matched the other seat the same way. I am impressed with the durability of it as well. $200.
That's a genius thinking outside of the box repair!
